Description

1-Ethyl-2-(Heptadecenyl)-4,5-Dihydro-3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-1H-Imidazolium Ethyl Sulphate is a high-purity, cationic imidazolinium-based surfactant and conditioning agent. This compound is valued for its excellent softening, antistatic, and emulsifying properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and specialty chemical industries for its superior compatibility and efficacy.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Rinse-Off Products: Provides excellent detangling, smoothness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners & Textile Auxiliaries: Imparts a soft hand feel and reduces static cling on natural and synthetic fibers.
• Skin Care & Cosmetic Emulsions: Acts as a conditioning and emulsifying agent in creams and lotions.
• Industrial Surfactant Blends: Used as a cationic component in specialty formulations for lubrication, corrosion inhibition, or as an emulsifier.
• Antistatic Agents: Applied in treatments for plastics, textiles, and other materials to dissipate static charge.
